The short version of my question is whether the cvs tag RELENG_6_2 refers to the latest on the 6.2 STABLE branch or the 6.2 RELEASE Branch.

RELENG_6 - actual -STABLE
RELENG_6_2 - actual -RELEASE-pX

-RELEASE are taken off -STABLE at predefined times, and as such we can say, that -RELEASE is snapshot from -STABLE at the date of new release. Development is being done in -STABLE.

So if you want to have current release with it's patchlevels as they are, use RELENG_6_2.

I wish to make some minor local modifications to my system running 6.2 RELEASE p4. So far, I've been maintaining my system using csup with a sup file based on

  /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile

But my local changes get overwritten with each new update using csup. I was advised earlier on this list to use cvs instead (which I thought csup did, but now I see that csup (and cvsup) will use "checkout" mode instead of "CVS mode" unless I'm on the bleeding edge.

Copy this file somewhere else, like /usr/local/etc and modify it as you need. Whole cvsup command would look like:

# cvsup -L 2 /usr/local/etc/stable-supfile

kind regards,
Martin
